| I am wondering if any one else experiences bazaar irrational thinking when something sudden happens, situations change, or something doesn't happen the way you thought (i.e. someone doesn't react how you think they should). I have intense bouts of anxiety over little things. Such as, I email someone... |

| It's a lot easier to remember hard facts, than abstract things such as childhood memories. For Aspies, anyway. I can remember specific facts of my childhood but there is so much I don't remember, and mind you, I never even realize it until someone says, "Remember when..." and I just don't. Oh well,... |

| I am wondering how you feel about PDAs? i.e. "public displays of affection" not a "personal digital assistant". :wink: I have a real problem with it I guess because I don't like being touched without consent and I'm not much one for hand holding. When my sister takes her husband's hand while he is d... |

| It took me a year until I got my diagnosis. Wow, why a year? Were you aware that you may be autistic? Or did they find out along the way? I am hoping that because I have been doing research and I can look back over my life and point to all the specifics that make so much sense now that the doc will... |

You might be an aspie if you've lived alone for seven years and you are no more organized or mature than you were when you left your parent's house! |

| I have always had exceptional hearing (from tests since I was a kid) but when I am in a crowd or a group and everyone is talking instead of being able to hear everything that is said it is more like everything gets twisted together and all jumbled up. I feel either aggravated or anxious and I can't ... |

| I baby talk to my cats sometimes. They are one of my obsessive interests. I LOVE cats. It almost embarrasses me sometimes how excited I get when I see one. I act like I am 5 yo and I'm 28! However, I learned baby talking to animals from my aunt and I only do it in private. It seems sad, I guess, but... |

| I think I understand what you're trying to say. I wish I had been tested when I was a child as I know I am more aware now than I was then. i.e. I have come to realize other people don't think and know and feel as I do when they tell me! Otherwise, I will just start talking about something and irrita... |

| My question is simply that I read a theory of mind test (others may have heard of) where one "person" places an object in a basket then leaves the room. A 2nd "person" then comes and puts the object in a box. The question is then asked "Where would the 1st person look for the item?" I answered insti... |

| That's exactly what I've noticed. I do have emotions, I cry, get upset, feel happy, etc. I just can't feel other people's feelings and I can't understand sympathizing. If your life stinks do something to fix it, if you're having a bad day there's always tomorrow. [sigh] I guess I must have the kind ... |
